How’s the new GICS sector/industry classification system different from Thomson Reuter’s?
After switching data provider to S&P Global Market Intelligence from Thomson Reuters on January 3, 2018, the sector and industry classification system on Jitta.com now follows the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), which is a standard used by thousands of market participants around the world and is reviewed annually to reflect the changing global economy.
As a result, your saved Jitta Playlists may now display a different sector or industry, and screening stocks may require a different sector or industry criteria as shown below or download the official brochure:
